The former chief financial officer of Bankrate will spend the next 10 years in prison after admitting in court earlier this year that he falsified the company’s accounts in a scheme that ended up costing shareholders $25 million. According to the Department of Justice, Edward DiMaria used his position at Bankrate to artificially boost the company’s earnings from 2010 through 2014.
